- Realm of the Wood Elves — the original Warhammer campaign pack — unlocks Orion in Immortal Empires. Keep the DLC and Warhammer III on the same storefront.
Talsyn in Immortal Empires
Select Wood Elves, then Talsyn, to lead Orion. His realm is Athel Loren, the forest at the heart of Wood Elf society. His Immortal Empires campaign shares the race’s Forest Health, Rituals of Rebirth and Deeproots systems.
Orion’s Wild Hunt strengthens the benefits of Lords appointed to Offices while it is active. Keep those appointments in mind when organising armies for a campaign beyond the forest. Restoration still matters while the Hunt is abroad.
Spear attacks and close combat
Orion can throw his spear before joining a melee. Use the ranged attack while your line forms, then commit him where the infantry and forest spirits can support him. Advancing alone into enemy missiles makes it harder for the rest of the army to help.
Glade Guard need time to shoot. Tree Kin can occupy an approaching regiment while other troops work around it; use Orion to reinforce a useful engagement instead of drawing the whole army into one crowded fight.
Support the Hunt
A Spellsinger adds magic to a force led by a fighting lord. A Branchwraith can accompany the forest spirits, while a Waystalker adds a dedicated ranged character. Pick the job the army needs before adding another character.
Durthu offers the forest spirits’ perspective on Athel Loren. Orion’s own background explains the seasonal renewal behind the King in the Woods and the Wild Hunt.
Talsyn, the Wild Hunt, and the forest king
Orion is unlocked by Realm of the Wood Elves, the Warhammer I campaign pack, on the same storefront as Warhammer III. He leads Talsyn. The Wild Hunt strengthens lords who hold Offices while the hunt is abroad. Forest Health, Rituals of Rebirth, and the Deeproots are the race tools underneath. He throws a spear and then joins the melee.
Glade Guard need time to shoot. Tree Kin occupy a regiment. Durthu is the treeman of Argwylon. The Vaults of Winter is Darius Hinks's novel of a cursed spring. A restored forest in Immortal Empires is not that unmasking.
